All releases of PIKT

Release Notes: The PIKT Reference has been substantially revised.
piktc "-x" operations may now piggyback onto other
piktc operations. A new piktc and pikt option has
been added: "-U", for running in "urgent mode".
Another new piktc option has been added: "-p#",
for pausing # seconds between operations. Per-host
data and auth encryption types were implemented.
Several new alarm status settings were introduced.
New features were added to support special test
environments. Debugging, error handling, and
logging were all improved. Other new features were
added, and several bugs were also fixed.

Release Notes: The PIKT Reference was substantially revised, adding many more examples (especially function usage), expanding on several sections, and updating it to reflect details of recent software versions.

Release Notes: The doexec Pikt script statement was added. Retention of history info (in .hst files) in script quit situations was implemented. In 'output log' statements, the log file name may now be a computable string. 'piktc -G' debug output is now much more useful and relevant. Some issues that broke authentication on 64-bit systems were fixed along with a FreeBSD compilation problem.

Release Notes: piktc exec operations may now piggyback onto other piktc operations. A new command-line option was implemented for pausing for an arbitrary number of seconds between successive piktc operations. Several new script functions were also added.

Release Notes: New features were added to deepen and ease the
administration of test environments, including new
alarm status settings; several new built-in,
predefined macros and defines; alert-wide status
and severity level settings; and a reformulated
"-T" command-line test switch. The script run
sequence was revised. Error handling and logging
were improved.

Release Notes: A problem that broke the pikt script interpreter
in Gentoo Linux was fixed. A problem related to
logfile input and changing POSIX standards was
fixed. A bug in the code for specifying piktd
timings was fixed.
